Today I wore golden freshwater Keshi dangles from Pearl Paradise. I had to really think before I remembered what they were! They’re light so at first I thought they were soufflés and for a second wondered if they could be fireballs. Then it dawned on me that Chenai had called them Keshi. I bought them years ago when they were part of a monthly special.

A week ago I got together with BAS, Purranha, Jeremy and Hisano! We went out for dinner to a phenomenal Indian restaurant and the following day BAS and I got to ogle Hisano’s little h jewelry line at NY NOW. I was sooo happy to see all of you, particularly after having missed last summer’s Ruckus!

Here is a view of what each of us wore pearl-wise.

BAS wowed us with her Sea of Cortez mabe set from Douglas and custom soufflé ring from Pearl Paradise.

Might I add -- Hisano's souffle is NOT hollow! The "earthen matter", or whatever it's called now, has not been removed so it's a highly unusual intact souffle from the early days of souffle production.

Thank you for posting pics BabyNurse! And thank you for organizing dinner for us BAS! And of course thank you Hisano and Jeremy for letting us roam NY_NOW!!! What an EPICALLY FUN get together as always!!! I remember letting out a pretty loud scream when I first met up with BAS & BN and saw all the pearls lolol. I hope we can make this a tradition for all the NY_NOW shows going forward!
